Back in the USA....

Howdy,
We wanted to update everyone. We did succesfully make it home from Chihuahua, Mexico. The trip was tremendous for our individual spiritual journeys, we even got some work done too.
Since we have been home we have heard from both Allyson who was our Missionary contact at the brickyard and Monte who was our work leader at the NTM Ranch.

Brickyard Update - The group after us was able to get half done on another brick latreen. They people of the brickyard are finishing the cement floors and will start the walls soon. Allyson was very pleased with our ministry with the children and our work on the latreens. She was also happy to receive the dozens of reading glasses and the medical supplies. She said they have already become useful, she is handing them out already.

Ranch Update - We missed it. The week after we left a baby rattler and a scorpion both showed up, we are sad we missed it! The radiator on the car broke as well, they were able to get it fixed but keep praying for the van to hold up for the other work groups as well.

We thank all of you for your prayers while we were there in Mexico. God answered them all and did a marvelous work in and through our lives! Please keep praying for the missionaries and the New Tribes missionary training at the ranch. Please pray for the children of the brickyard too.
With a show of hands every member on the team indicated they would go back if they had the chance. God is working. God is faithful. We can't wait to see what He has in store for us and for the ministry in Mexico!
We have tons of great pictures and videos! Check out pictures of the trip on our website: www.thriveyouth.org
Videos will be up soon so keep checking back.
